openfinance_force_sync

Forces the bank to re-sync one or more connections NOW and WAITS for it to finish (PATCH /items/:id, then polls until the item stops updating, up to ~60s). Use this when a balance or transaction list looks stale: a connection can read UPDATED yet be hours old, and this pulls fresh data WITHOUT disconnecting/reconnecting. Pass items as an array of selectors (item_id, connector_id, connector_name, or the user-set custom_label nickname); OMIT items to sync ALL linked banks. Returns { results, errors }; each result has the final status, executionStatus, lastUpdatedAt (advances when data is refreshed), and synced (true = fresh data is ready). needs_action (e.g. MFA_REINTERACTION / LOGIN_ERROR / WAITING_USER_INPUT) means the user must re-authenticate — those results include a reconnect_url that opens the widget in UPDATE mode for that exact connection (user enters credentials / MFA token, data refreshes in place, no slot consumed, no disconnect needed). timed_out: true means the sync is still running — re-check with openfinance_get_item_status. Set wait: false for fire-and-forget (returns immediately while UPDATING).

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Discloses sync process (PATCH, polling up to 60s), return fields (status, executionStatus, lastUpdatedAt, synced, needs_action, reconnect_url, timed_out), and behavior of wait parameter. Annotations only indicate non-read-only and non-destructive; description adds critical behavioral details.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Description is somewhat lengthy but packs essential information. Each sentence adds value, though it could be more structured (e.g., separating parameters and return values) for easier reading.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, description covers all return fields and error scenarios (needs_action, timed_out). It also explains edge cases (reconnect_url, no disconnect) and provides fallback guidance. Highly complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but description fully explains both parameters: 'wait' as boolean for fire-and-forget, 'items' as array of selectors with explanation of allowed values and omission behavior (sync all).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the action: force re-sync of connections with waiting. It uses specific verbs and resources, and distinguishes from sibling tools like openfinance_disconnect_bank by emphasizing 'WITHOUT disconnecting/reconnecting'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says 'Use this when a balance or transaction list looks stale', providing clear context. It also advises to use openfinance_get_item_status if timed out, but does not list all alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

The openfinance_* family is cleanly separated by resource and action, and tricky pairs like list_accounts vs get_account_balance and list_transactions vs list_transactions_by_item are explicitly cross-referenced in descriptions. However, marketplace bundles a large set of sub-actions, and connect/toolkit_info partially overlap on reporting connection state, so a couple of boundaries are fuzzy.

Naming Consistency4/5

The openfinance_* tools consistently follow a verb_resource pattern with snake_case, which is highly predictable. The generic platform tools mostly fit the same style, but marketplace and toolkit_info are noun-only names, and openfinance_provider_status also breaks the verb pattern, so it is not perfectly uniform.

Tool Count3/5

At 25 tools, this server falls at the heavy end of the borderline range. The many openfinance_* list/get tools are individually justified for the financial domain, but adding platform tools like marketplace, connect, toolkit_info, and show_version makes the overall surface larger than a minimal server needs.

Completeness5/5

The financial surface is remarkably thorough: accounts, transactions, credit card bills, loans, investments, categories, connection lifecycle, sync, and provider health are all covered with list/get and update paths where applicable. The platform side also covers auth, connection status, marketplace discovery/execution, versioning, and bug reporting, leaving no obvious dead ends.
